Few people like to visit the dentist, at least not many in my circle of acquaintances. The reasons for such public disdain vary, but the end result is fear of pain. That pain can be lessened with proper dental hygiene. It just makes sense: the better one cares for one’s teeth, the less repair is necessary in maintaining good oral health. In The Four Secrets Your Dentist Never Told You, Dr. Garry Bonsall outlines a painless remedy to poor dental care and painful dentist visits. In Dr. Bonsall’s own words, “your teeth are for smiling.” By following the steps in this easy to read manual, you can claim the perfect smile without the cost of expensive dental work and unnecessary medical procedures.

Although this piece reads like an infomercial, it is evident the intent is sincere and the knowledge gained is valuable. The good doctor’s secrets are not revealed until chapter three, but the anticipation is well worth the wait. The Four Secrets Your Dentist Never Told You is not an argument for good dentistry; rather it is a statement of reclaiming common sense in caring for personal hygiene and overall health benefits directly related to proper dental care. This is a must-read for anyone interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I found this extremely easy to read and attractive in its short length, void of any technical medical jargon. Even though the material is basically common sense, many readers will find a reinforcement of knowledge that is uncomplicated and inexpensive.

The Four Secrets Your Dentist Never Told You: White Teeth, Pink Gums, Fresh Breath for Life! is a non-fiction health and wellness book written by Dr. Garry Bonsall. Dr. Bonsall is a practising dentist and dental surgeon with practices in Germany, Spain and Switzerland. Bonsall’s story begins with his father, who had been scrupulous in caring for his teeth and regularly visited his dentist. Thus, he was understandably outraged when not one but three dentists advised him that all of his teeth would have to be extracted. Bonsall was in his final year of dentistry school at the time and was able to advise his father on the necessary steps to take to save his teeth. When his father passed away thirty years later, he still had all his own teeth. In this book, Dr. Bonsall discusses what causes gum disease and how it can be prevented, and he reveals the four secrets he shares with his patients to help them keep their teeth and gums healthy.

Dr. Garry Bonsall’s non-fiction health and wellness book, The Four Secrets Your Dentist Never Told You: White Teeth, Pink Gums, Fresh Breath for Life!, is well-written and informative. I appreciated learning exactly how bacteria begin the process of gum disease and was rather alarmed to learn that your own body’s immune system eventually attacks the supporting bone structure when it’s fooled into an auto-immune response by the film created by the bacteria. Dr. Bonsall’s four secrets are brilliant and easily put into practice. He explains the rationale for each secret succinctly, and his explanations make a lot of sense. I was impressed enough to start following his rules to ensure my gum health. The Four Secrets Your Dentist Never Told You contains good practical knowledge, and, while it won’t replace gum surgery if the current condition of your gums requires it, it may very well keep you from ever needing such medical intervention. I was impressed by the knowledge and guidance I received from this book and highly recommend it.
